Oh god I’m trying
really trying

***

Neon bleeds on asphalt tracks
Petrichor from weeping stone

Obsidian mirrors catch the night
Sky heavy with purple weight
(Ancient fate)

Beneath the surface, secrets grow
Find the peace you sought elsewhere

Silver rain on a velvet floor
Open up the hidden door
Soothing fever, heart unbound
Echoes of a holy sound

(Breathe slowly)
(Wing against the pace
the holy sound)

Alchemy of salt and skin
Forgiving ghosts of every sin
Dissolving time and space

A slow ignition, quiet spark
Pulse thickening in the dark

Silver rain on a velvet floor
Open up the hidden door
Soothing fever, heart unbound
Echoes of a holy sound

Chiaroscuro, spirit rest
Labyrinthine breath in chest
Dancing on the edge of death
(Stay with me)

Low and heavy, soft and slow
Where the deepest waters flow

Silver rain on a velvet floor
Open up the hidden door
Soothing fever, heart unbound
Echoes of a holy sound

Susurrus wind against the pane
Erasing sorrow and the stain
Keeping the spirit warm

Opalescent dreams, rainy night
Exactly as we are breathe
(the murmurs)

***

The universe breathes in the quiet.
We are the fire, waiting for a spark,
Searching for light in the night.

Midnight whispers, your heartbeat echoes.
I’m drowning in your glow,
Seeing the infinite within your skin
Where the world ends and we begin.

Feel the gravity give way,
Everything we never knew to say
Is written in the dust of moons.
(So close now)

Closer than the stars, we burn bright.
Hold me till we vanish in the white.
In this breath, we are not alone;
You’re the only galaxy for me.

Closer than the stars,
In the deep of the night.

Beyond the horizon line,
Where your soul meets mine.
Shadows fade in the love we’ve made.

Neon pulses through velvet veins,
Washing away the shadows and stains.
Electric touch, a flicker in the dark,
Every atom dancing to the beat.

Wait for the rush to take us over.
The rhythm is rising, the pulse steady.
Are you ready? (Ah-ah)

Silence in the bass,
Lost in time and space.
(Higher, ooh)

Time is just a ghost.
Infinity is contained in your hand,
Grains of time like shimmering sand.
We are constellations in the making;
Don’t let the fire fade.

Closer, closer to you;
Nothing else is true.
I am coming through.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Higher)

Fading into the violet sky,
No more hello, no more goodbye.
Your soul makes every broken piece whole.
Closer than the stars.
(So close to you)
